Don’t Let Spooky Surprises Haunt Your Dog-Friendly Home Search

October is full of thrills, but when searching for a home with your furry friend, some real estate surprises can be scarier than any ghost! From hidden hazards to overlooked pet-friendly features, knowing what to watch for ensures both you and your pup enjoy a safe and happy home.

1. The Overpriced Haunted Yard
   A big backyard might seem perfect for your dog, but if it’s overpriced or poorly maintained, it could turn into a financial nightmare. Look for a yard that’s both safe and fairly priced, giving your pup room to play without spooking your budget.
   
   
2. Beware the Hidden Hazards
   Old fences, toxic plants, or unsafe decks can turn your dream home into a fright for your four-legged friend. Inspect outdoor spaces carefully to make sure your dog stays safe from scary surprises.
   
   
3. The Paperwork Phantom
   Even a dog-friendly home can come with legal “ghosts,” like HOA restrictions or breed limitations. Check all contracts and neighborhood rules to avoid being haunted by unexpected obstacles.
   
   
4. Dog-Friendly Features That Delight
   Dog doors, mudrooms, fenced yards, and nearby parks are treats every pet owner wants. Homes with these features make life easier for both you and your pup—and appeal to future buyers with pets.
